Pat Dugan, the man who visited
the White House with Rev DIR. r. r.
r. Burchard and sang the DoxOlogy,
and who also interrupted the opening
proceedings of Congress by singing
the same, is a noted enthusiast and has
had many curious experiences. Soon
after John L. Sullivan opened his sa-
loon in Boston, Dugan, under the di-
rection of the Lord, as he told a re-
porter, went into the restaurant,
walked up to the pugilist, and said:
" l wish you would give your heart to
the Lord" Why?" answered Sulli
van, after he had recovered from the
surprise. Because" answered the
enthusiast, "you would gain internal
salvation. Then think, Mr.. Sulli-
van," he went on. finding that he was
not likely to be hurt, "what an effect
your conversion would have on the
world, and how many would follow
your example," "You're right, my
boy" said the fighter, "and l
promise you to think the mat
ter" At the opening of the Brook
Ign bridge, Dugan preached several
sermons to the crowds assembled I'M
til he was carried off by the police.
At the ceremonies attending the ele-
walton of Archbishop Gibbons to the
cardinalate, he was also present and
preached whenever and wherever he
could find an audience. His attempt
to convert Congress was about the
biggest thing he has undertaken, how.
ever, and he says that his lack of sue
cess was no greater than he had anti
cipated. He passed through here
about month ago, and sang on the
streets, but the day was too cold for
many to listen.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-It
is rumored that Captain Julius Cazar
Holmes, of Jefferson county, w. Va.
General Superintendent of Public
Buildings and Grounds of the United
States, will shortly follow the exam
pie of Eugene Higgins and resign.
Captain Holmes is the Higgins of
" est Virginia. He made his record
in 1882 by playfully palming off on
twenty-six colored Republicans OF
Charlestown as many bogus tickets,
securing the election of Hon. William
l.. Wilson to Congress over Hon. John
w. Mason of Grafton. Mr.. Mason
was defeated by eight votes. The
position now held by Captain Holmes
was given him by Mr.. Wilson and
ex-senator Davis as reward for this
and other equally great Democratic
reform acts.

The second day of Christmas was
somewhat gloomy and snowy. The

little excitement on the streets. 1t is
bad schooling for the younger boys,

How nice it would be if those who

shades of some old shed and have it

BLOOD POISON

Three years ago l contracted "a blood poison.
applied to a physician at once and his treat
ment came near killing me. ] employed an
old physician and then went to Ky. then
went to Hot Springs and remained two months,
but nothing seemed to cure me permanently
although temporary relief was given me. My
condition grew desperate and applied TO a
noted quack, but did not improve. l then
used a preparation which was prescribed
gratis" but it contained too much alcohol
and aggravated my snfferings. l then placed
myself under the treatment of a noted Nash
vile ply stefan and for time was benefited,
but by fall l returned home a ruined man,
physically and financially, with but little pros
poets of ever getting well. My money being
exhausted, / did not know what to do. In
May, 1885, my mother persuaded me to get
bottle of b. b. b. (nade in Atlanta) and did
so to crafty her, but to my utter astOnish-
ment l had not finished the first bottle before
every ulcer had been healed.
To the present time have used five bottles
and have received more benefit than from all
the rest combined and am satisfied that Il.
Is. b. is the most wonderful blood purifier ever
before known, and l urge all afflicted young
men to try one single bottle and be convinced.
l can truly say think 1t the best medicine in
the world. 4. Il. HALLERTON. 2
